Pete Davidson was a staple on the Saturday Night Live stage for the better part of his career, but it wasn’t so long ago that the New Yorker decided to walk away from that world. While he isn’t ready to rejoin the cast quite yet as he continues to prioritize his mental health, Davidson was able to commit to hosting the latest episode, during which he couldn’t resist making a dig at Kanye West. The comedian and rapper previously exchanged heated blows on social media during the former’s brief relationship with Kim Kardashian, which first sparked amid her tumultuous split from Ye.
For one of his skits on Saturday (October 14) evening, the Bodies Bodies Bodies actor channelled his inner Ken to re-imagine a scene from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. While rewriting the lyrics to “I’m Just Ken,” Davidson managed to perfectly poke fun at his “butthole eyes,” as well as his expansive dating history. Mid-way through the cover, shots at West and the unusual nickname he previously gave his op went out. “People online still call me Skete because I’m a guy whose name I can’t say legally,” he sings before the camera flashes to a photo of the father of four.
